web site really be with fixed by the end of this month? former seeior adviser to president bush brad blakeman on what needs to be done. lori: and primed for delivery, amazon cuts a deal with the u.s. postal service for sunday delivery, its latest effort to chip away at brick and more far stores' -- mortar stores' advantage, immediacy. adam: free from nsa-style snooping. lori: and money falling from the sky. in the form of an asteroid? yes. we will introduce you to the man behind the plan to mine asteroids for astronomical profits. planetary resources co-founder and co-chairman eric anderson on his company's efforts and big money backers like google's eric schmidt and sir richard branson. of so let's get things started with a check of the markets, let's head to the floor of the new york stock exchange and nicole petallides. are investors taking a wreath --
1:01 pm
breather here? >> reporter: five straight weeks of gains here, ticking it off here in fashion with up arrows. all three of the major averages do have up arrows, however, none of these three are gaining more than one-tenth t of 1% at the moment. so you are seeing that the momentum is leaning to the upside. however, not bursting out into crazy new highs. what we are seeing, though, is that we have the retail index, the drug index pulling higher, the banking index pulling back a little bit, the vixx also taking a breather here. as i speak about the banks, i want to look at bank of america, a stellar perfor year, up 24% this year, almost 52% in the last one year. but now today we are focusing on bank of america as you do have the u.s. government seeking the maximum penalty allowed, over $863 million, and this is in connection with the countrywide loan program dubbed hustle, so not good news there.
1:02 pm
the bank had said they previously were looking for options to appeal this. in the meantime, this is all about loans that date back to the tougher times during the financial crisis. but we'll continue to follow that story for you. lori: wonderful. thank you, nicole. see you in 15 minutes. adam: fresh off his re-election victory in new jersey, republican governor chris christie took a victory lap around the political talk shows sunday. the gop darling wasted no time hammering president obama's handling of the health care plan. >> anybody who's run anything in their lives could see this coming a mile away. and that's why we didn't do a state-based health exchange. we didn't do it because we could see that this whole program was going to be a problem. and so the president's biggest problem right now is he's got to tell the truth. and we've seen this in new jersey. i've told lots of hard truths in new jersey that people didn't necessarily agree with, but they give you credit for looking them in the eye and telling you the truth. adam: but are these hard truths enough to get him elected in 2016? brad blakeman is the former
1:03 pm
deputy assistant to president george w. bush. thank you for joining us on "markets now." so as governor christie likes to say, get the job done. will this still be resonating in 2016? >> i think it will be if he's as successful as a governor in 2016 as he is today. he's certainly going to give republican field a run for tear money. but remember -- for their money. remember, adam, you have to be selected by your party before you're elected by the people, and that's where you have to have your bone fee d.c. to have that nomination to then go to the people. ss christie's got a long way to go, but he's certainly off to a good start if he chooses to run for president because what he's delivered to the people in a blue state. lori: how is he doing in terms of his reputation with other republicans which you know all too well, party fractured coming off this debt ceiling vote. is governor governor christie a binding force for the party? >> i think he is. look, for republicans to be successful, lori, we have to
1:04 pm
remember that we're vastly outnumbered in a lot of the states we need in registrations. we have to appeal to democratic voters. we have to appeal to women. women played a crucial role in virginia and new jersey. we have to appeal to hispanics and african-americans and asians. and if you look at christie's win in a blue state, look at the inroads he made since he's governor in this these minority communities and with women. look, christie, there's a lot to look at in his numbers and other republicans should be looking at it because to be effective, good politics is good governance. look at what christie's done, try to emulate that as best you can in your states. adam: well, he talks about transparency and the voters hear what wants -- what has to be done and then they want results. that was one of the hard decisions e made, the tunnel, but i don't crunch political numbers. if he alienates the tea party, the ultra conservatives, can he attract enough democrats nationwide for a victory?
1:05 pm
>> well, again, you have to be selected by the party before you're elected by the people. when you're talking about the tea party within the republican ranks, they are a supeeminority within the republican tent. now, do you need them to to win? i don't believe you do. but what you need to do is go beyond new jersey and attract those voters in mississippi and in missouri and in florida and new hampshire and iowa. and if christie's numbers are good there, if he dips his toe in the water, look to him to go within a year or so to iowa, if his governance resonates there, then i think republicans need to look at him extremely seriously beyond his own borders. also look for him to raise money for house members in 2014 and senate members. if they're asking christie to come in, the handwriting's on the wall with. lori: how effective is governor christie on getting obamacare back on track? clearly, he asked the president to apologize, and the president did. he's so critical of
1:06 pm
healthcare.gov, as so many ohs are, of course, but do you think his direct, authoritative demands over the weekend on the talk shows will help expedite this mess to improve it? >> one can only hope. i happen to believe that the 15 senators, democrats who are vulnerable, are the ones who marched into the oval office last week and told the president to do exactly what governor christie said, and that is tell the american people the truth, mr. president. let it all out there. it's not only the web site, it's the people who have lost their insurance, it's the youth who are not signing up. the math isn't working, the deliverables aren't working, and the real hard part of obamacare's coming in the delivery of services -- adam: brad, very quickly -- >> i think christie has the a lot to say. >> fiscal problems, you've got to find the money for billions in the transportation trust fund in new jersey, that could hold him back, couldn't it? >> it could, but christie, again, is a politician of tough love. he's going to tell the jersey people exactly the way it is, and he's going to do the right thing. and if he does, i think people will respect him for it.
1:07 pm
adam: we appreciate it. brad blakeman, thank you very much. lori: thanks, brad. all right, it's amazon to the rescue. the post office making a deal to deliver amazon's packages on sundays for the first time ever. this is a win/win situation for the struggling usps. here's elizabeth macdonald and e-mack's bottom line. >> it is a win if you listen to what the post office is saying. good to be with you guys, saying, you know what? we're very happy to be delivering on sundays for amazon. we know that they've been running a $16 billion loss, the u.s. post office, so now los angeles, new yorkers, if they are paying $79 a year to be amazon prime members, they can get deliveries on sundays. adam: how does the post office pay for this? would they lose money by having people work -- >> interestingly enough, they did not disclose the details of the deal, but package delivery for the u.s. post office, the revenues from that are going up, and they're set to be about a
1:08 pm
fifth of the post office revenues. they want to get a piece of that nearly $200 billion e-commerce market. and be i'll tell you something, if the u.s. post office and am von link up and then if walmart and amazon link up, what's going to happen to ups and fedex? adam: sunday deliveries. [laughter] >> there you go. hover hr. higher postage costs? things like that? >> reporter: they're not saying yet, the post office isn't saying if they're going to increase -- in other words, who is swallowing the hit in amazon's been known to take the hit just to do it on volume, to make money off volume, and if people are happy, they're saying they're going to make money off of it. and it looks like the u.s. postal service will not be charging higher for package deliveries on sundays for now. lori: free shipping is the one, main tool these e-chers sites have, especially this time of year. >> reporter: that's exactly right. i'll tell you, 90% of mail that
1:09 pm
comes to your mailbox is junk. adam: yes. >> reporter: interesting. adam: elizabeth macdonald, thank you. today is the world's biggest online shopping day. it's sort of a modern twist on valentine's day for china's biggest e-commerce companies. ally babb baa saw a record $5.7 billion in sales just today. in 2012 it was $be 3.1 billion in sales and $1.25 billion back in 2011. compare that to cyber monday here in the states which only saw $1.9 billion last year. lori: japan airlines says a cockpit indicator showed trouble with the battery connected to an auxiliary power unit, the airline also says the battery did not overheat or emit smoke. it was relaced and s undergoing

that automatically, and it's only between two perzo clients this can occur? >> yes, perzo will do it automatically. adam: so if the nsa comes knocking, you would turn over gibberish to them, but nothing prevents the fsa from saying -- the nsa from saying we want the encryption key, correct? they could issue a subpoena. >> absolutely. and we designed perzo that messages can be intercepted, and there might be legitimate warrants for us to deliver day the to the -- data to the government agencies. and we designed the system so that it is on you and not on us to deliver those keys to the agencies. adam: so you raised a million dollars in your first round of fund raising. where do you stand at this point, looking to be acquired? is anybody knocking at the door? >> actually, we already got an offer which we refused, and we have several interest, but i think we are on something very unique. there's a growing need for
1:17 pm
privacy and confidential messaging for any legitimate discussions, and i think we're on a good roll, and we are about to raise our next round of funding, and with that we think we can bring to the market something very unique and very big. adam: all right. it's called perzo, we appreciate you being with us. >> thank you very much. the pleasure was mine. lori: and let's update everyone on the markets now as we do every 15 minutes with nicole petallides live at her post on the new york stock exchange, and, nicole can, you're looking at some stocks moving on upgrades today. >> reporter: right. we're taking a look at household names, everybody's familiar with these, priceline and also at best buy. so let's take a look here first at best buy. you do have best buy up almost 4% today, positive comments from jeffrey's and ubs, putting a $52 price target, upside potential. down 4% right now, best buy, a great run s. they continue to have demand, so much so they say

delish. president obama paid tribute to america's veterans today by laying a wreath at arlington national cemetery. obama said in his veterans day proclamation that the country's obligations to those who have served our country endure long after the battle ends. now, those are your news headlines on the fox business network. now back to lori and adam. lori: many thanks. so it is, of course, veterans day. thank you for showing us the wreath. while the day's focus is on honoring their service, there's another battle that vets are facing, and that is unemployment. peter barnes is in washington with more for us. >> reporter: corporate america stepping up to help hire more veterans as we celebrate the veterans day, and many veterans need the help. the up employment rate for all veterans was 6.9% in october, about the same as the general unemployment rate, but for men and women who fought in iraq and afghanistan post-9/11, the unemployment rate is 10%.
1:25 pm
and with the war in iraq over and the war in afghanistan winding down and more cuts in military spending, the problem could get worse. >> they're relatively inexperienced. in cases their first job is with the military, and so they haven't had the benefit of going to interview school or multiple interviews, so their first time dealing with civil wan employers -- civilian employers is now 8 or 10 years after they've been to school. >> reporter: and the pentagon has estimated anywhere from 280,000 to 300,000 service members will be departing the military over the next five years, and they're all going to need jobs. so a lot of them are hitting the job market with marketable, desirable skills in leadership, teamwork and tech, but many of them as our guest said may not have worked if the private sector before, may not know how to do a resumé or find a job or how to do a job interview. as a result, they're getting

adam: we've got you covered on market action today. keith bliss of catone and company is on the floor of the new york stock exchange. phil flynn from price futures group is in the pits of the cme. phil, we want to start with you, and dow is up more than 17%. where do we go from here? there is article in the journal that retail investors get into stocks that it is time to get out? >> that article in the journal terrified me from the standpoint where the market go on here. rrtail investors jump in with both feet at exact wrong time. they put their money in. all of sudden we get a 10 or 15% correction. i thought it was an interesting article. i actually know the author of the article and e-mailed her today and maybe the title of the article should have been the top is well and truly here so, who
1:32 pm
knows where we're going to go from here. we're certainly meeting some serious resistance points when we get to all-time highs. you can't really tell anything with the bond market and bankers on vacation today. i would wait to see what earnings from big retailers like walmart and coles do from end of the week until we get assessments from here. adam: we'll take your advice, keith. turning to commodities no deal on iran's nuclear program driving oil prices higher. phil flynn, what is the reaction to all this? will they ever get a deal? >> i think there is some hope maybe down the road they could. if you look at action, rumors came on friday that talks were not going well we rallied on brent crude. the spread between the brent and wti exploded. brent crude was up very high. even the wti was joining in the party but word that iran signed a deal with the u.n. international inspectors to allow them to come in at least look what they have got going, seems to suggest that there's still some more politics behind
1:33 pm
the scene that they still could get some kind of a deal. right now believe it or not we're pulling back those highs we saw early in the day. brent crude pulled back 50 cents from the high. there is another story coming out of libya right now that protesters it from libya stopped gas shipments to italy. there is violence and other things putting brent crude and european natural gas at risk right now. that is another reason why the brent crude continues to stay stubbornly strong right now. adam: phil flynn at the cme. thank you. >> thank you, adam. lori: sounds like a crazy science fiction movie. sending robots into space to captureing ater 'roids. our next guest is working hard to make it happen. set cofounder and chairman of planetary resources to mine
1:34 pm
asteroids. welcome to you. >> thank you, lori. lori: you are famous you pioneered the space tourism industry as well. tell us more where you got the interest and exploration and space development. >> thank you for the opportunity. space in a simple statement everything but earth and for humanity to continue to grow and reach prosperity for future generations we are absolutely going to have to learn to explore, develop and live in space. we all want to see that future. the question is, whether it happens in 100 years or 200 years or whether it happens in the next 20 years. and so it turns out after having built space adventures for a dozen years and launched, you know, several people in space to the space station my business partner and i studied history and it turned out that resources are what drive exploration. lori: what kind of resources are on asteroids? >> so the good thing about
1:35 pm
asteroids they are actually chockful of resources. they have volatiles, things like fuel, water, methane. otherwise known as natural gas if you can believe that they have very valuable metals, platinum group metals that sell for $1500 an ounce and they have industrial metals like nickel, cobalt and iron. so they're really an amazing find. almost like a gift from nature to have these near-earth asteroids so built up with resources. >> describe for me how you will go from detecting the resources on these asteroids to then bringing them back to earth. >> so, okay, great question. what we're first doing, the first thing of all is to actually use the fuel on these near-earth asteroids to build a network of propellant and fuel stations throughout the earth-moon system which will drastically bring down the cost of transiting in space. can be used for things like satellite refueling and space station operations and human
1:36 pm
spaceflight to and from the moon. but we're going to bring down the cost of getting anywhere from lower earth orbit. then once we have these fueling stations ww'll be easily able to bring stuff to wherever we want it. back to the earth, to a moon base, to mars. i know it sound like science fiction, lori, but it is absolutely, really going to happen. our investors include people like larry page and eric schmidt and richard branson and, i mean, it's an amazing privilege to be working on this frankly. >> i can imagine. those are some top-notch names you just mentioned to us. what kind of invests, what kind of commitments are they giving you? millions of dollars, tens of millions of dollars? what is it taking to literally get this program launched. >> we're basically at the stage where we have all the capital we need for the next four years. we're a team of 50 people. we're launching our first spacecraft in about nine months.
1:37 pm
lori: are these manned spacecraft? will astronauts ultimately go on these asteroids or all be done robotically? >> this will all be done row about the i cannily. not that we couldn't send people later. lori, are you a "star wars" fan? lori: "star wars," "star trek", 100%. >> you remember "the empire strikes back" the imperial droids. >> are the one that is captured hans solo and froze him. >> no, they found him on the ice planet. >> in the beginning of the movie, right okay. >> think, we're sending out imperial probe droids to the inner solar system, dozen of them. lori: gotcha. >> we're finding the best asteroids right now. lori: can any of this technology prevent a near-earth hit from one of these asteroids because there is lot of talk about that too, right? >> absolutely, absolutely. given what happened in russia in february it's scary. lori: yeah. >> we live, it is a classic case
1:38 pm
of opportunity on one side and threat on the other. to turn those threats into incredible opportunities. one asteroid, one small, 100-meter diameter asteroid has like $500 billion worth of resources on it. lori: wow. >> it is mind-blowing. >> talk about impact to the global economy down here on earth like small potatoes to what you're describeing. >> tell you one other thing real quick. lori: okay. >> the places where we mine platinum on earth came from asteroid impacts. platinum doesn't occur naturally on earth. we've been mining asteroids for a long time. people don't realize how valuable they really are. lori: you certainly spread the word, eric. pleasure to talk to you, eric anderson. adam: speaking of space -- lori: who is going like this. adam: you're a trekie. you're a sci-fi fan.

1:44 pm
flavor we'll give it to you. michael was one of the top executives at citigroup for many years, something like 2005 essentially to 2008 when the thing blew up. he worked for chuck prince. he worked for sandy weill. he also was, this is sort of ironic and shows you where the media double-standard and bias is when it comes to bill deblasio and covering liberals, when citigroup, needed the feds for all the sleeze that occurred, jack rudman inflating on stocks and kickbacks on deals and enron, worldcom, all this stuff citigroup was mmred in, michael schlein was the mouthpiece. it would be tant at that mouth being the mouthpiece for the nixon administration for watergate. this was corporate parallel. i'm not saying there is anything illegal but there is no doubt what practices michael schlein were wrong and bad for small investors and bad for average

guys, the same average guys bill deblasio purports to support. that is where we are. his wall street advisor a flak, rose higher than a flak. from what i understand before he left head of government relations at city group. he was a major player at citigroup. citigroup was populated by a lot of democrats. michael is long-time new york democrat. i think he has family ties to the democratic party. bob ruben worked at citigroup for a long time. jack lew worked there for a while and larry summers. citigroup is most left-leaning wall street firms. lori: spoon feed us. so what does this mean for average investors. >> i think it is this. if you're looking to make money off of this story, don't, it has nothing to do with average investors. what i think we need to do in the media point out conflicts of interest. lori: okay, bingo. >> bill deblasio claims to be this man who is going to stick up for the little guy. we should point out his wife wrote speeches for chuck prince.
1:46 pm
the guy, that led citigroup down the hole of near bankruptcy before the, before it was bailed out. one of the ways she got to be, one of the ways she got in at citigroup was mr. schlein. he worked in the dinkins administration in early 1990s. that is where i first met him. he was number two in the new york city department of finance and then he went to citigroup from there to be, i think he worked as a municipal bond banker. he kind of worked through the ranks. he was very close with jamie dimon. jamie dimon was fired by sandy weill. he kept him on because he thought he was a savvy political operator which of he is and was. if you say anything about michael schlin, when citigroup was mired in a lost sleeze, this was precursor to blowing up, there was almost a scandal that citigroup was not involved in. michael was there defending them
1:47 pm
every step. way. this is bill deblasio's liaison to wall street. we put calls to him and he hasn't called me back and calls to citigroup and deblasio's office. no calls. lori: fair and balanced. >> no return calls. adam: going back to the new york stock exchange. nicole petallides is there and you're taking a look at some tech movers, is that right? >> that's right. do you tweet or are on facebook? we'll check out how the stocks are faring. twitter off the high last week, ipo day when it moved above 50 bucks. now at 40.78. it was off the lows, at $39 and change. that is great news. twitter has about one-fifth of what we see from facebook as far as users and the like but let's see how facebook is faring now. facebook has been a great performer this year, up 75% this year, though today down 1.6%. one of the directors sold off some shares but holds 4.2 million shares.
1:48 pm
this is someone who invests a lot in tech. both of these we're watching very closely. as i noted twitter, if you were in the ipo at 26, you're doing great today. if you bought it at 49, you're bummed to see it at $41. adam: there is one person or people that bought it at $50.09. nicole petallides, thank you very much. lori: be patient everybody, don't forget the facebook story, right? adam: the facebook went really down before it went up. so we don't forget. lori: all right. one small step for man. one giant leap for olympic history. the olympic torch is safely back on earth after two russians carried the torch on a spacewalk over the weekend. 2014 the is third torch to orbit earth but first one taken to open space. now it was not able to emit flames because there is no air in space of course, but a three-man crew took the olympic

market clearly has its groove back. one of the reasons for the market's gains, huge flows from equities, from retail investors, maybe not so huge. wall street's term for mom-and-pop of course is the retail investor. so in the past extreme bullishness from retail has been a signal of market tops, leading us to our twitter question of the day. so with everyone piling back into stocks is it time for you to get the heck out? are you selling? tweet us your responses. we'll show them at the bottom of the screen. here to debate the issue, blackrock chief investment strategist, russ koesterich and our own list mcdonald. russ, send it out to you first. a lot of retail people have missed the run and looking at it and saying i got to get in but is it really that many people we're talking about here? >> well, we are seeing flows back into equities and a big departure what we saw back in 2009, 10, 11, 2012. i think it is important to put
2:03 pm
this phenomenon into perspective. between 2008 and 2012 retail investors did one thing. really two. they bought bond funds, $1.5 trillion worth and they sold stocks. we've seen very strong flows back into equity this is year it is important to put that into context the fact that four or five years investors were selling stocks and buying bonds. we're only starting to reverse that trend. ashley: liz, let me bring you in on the point russ makes. there is still awful lot of cashing on the sidelines. we're seeing a lot more retail investors get involved but i don't think it is to the point where you say for others time to get out. what do you think? >> they piled into bond funds, russ is right. what they put back in is 1/6 of what they pulled out since 2009 and 2008. i think the important question is where we've headed and what weave seen and what we can expect, excuse me if the federal reserve pulls out. what we're seeing is, we know what the markets will do.
2:04 pm
we've seen it in the past. in 2000, march of 2010 and june 2011 when the fed said you know what? we'll end helping of market. call it that. i hate quantitative easing. that is the expectation right there. if the fed stops what it is doing you could see the market dip, 5, 10, 15%. it will only do that by, what it is saying is it could still buy bonds. what it is saying is that the jobless rate does improve, the jobless rate does drop, it will basically start raising the fed funds rate t could continue to raise the fed funds rate in slower increments by quarter basis points which it did in 2004. in that instance it could still buy bonds. that is what the market is liking right now. you're hearing more buy on thedy, right? bullish calls. we're seeing big news last week was, the vanguard total market, equity fund replaced the pimco big bond fund over there that bill gross managers. tracy: russ, savers have gotten burned over last couple years.
2:05 pm
there was in hindsight, no incentive to save at all. liz points out we get a little bit of increase in rates. should i keep my money? still five or sitting on the sideline? >> i agree they are. i agree with liz. we'll have bumps along the road. volatility is too low. earnings estimates for 2014 are a bit high. we have to deal with the eventual start of tapering. these are all issues in the next three, six, nine, 10 months. if you look out 10 years i have to look at alternatives. cash is yielding zero and likely to yield zero for next couple years. you will have bonds in your portfolio but arguably a bit less. not as if equity cost go to the moon, but looking at the relative opportunity set where could i put my money? stocks particularly outside of the united states are reasonable enough over the next five years,
2:06 pm
i believe i will do better in stocks or bonds, or cash. ashley: liz, let me ask you on valuations because that is the big issue. warren buffett is saying this is a market now fairly valued. others will say no, there's still lots of opportunities. >> yeah, still lots of opportunities. and what he was, buffett red flag that market signal we talked about last week. ashley: yeah. >> that is the broad-based wilshire 5,000, value of thattis more than the vailing you of the entire u.s. economy. the companies, basically earning and not say hey our valuations not worth more than the u.s. economy. we're seeing slightly higher valuations on a forward basis. 17 times earnings. history is about 13, 14 times earnings. slightly higher for the s&p 500. earnings recessions is what we need to talk about. earnings and interest rates. the fed is determined to keep rates low and earnings recessions don't announce themselves on a thursday, like all of sudden the dollar will plunge on a thursday.
2:07 pm
you tend to see them coming. with the vast exposure to overseas markets you have to say, and russ is right, really microscopic savings rates of 0.5% at banks that is why you see also that floor provided by equity investors coming in. tracy: you have to wonder to russ's point maybe the expectations of 2014 are a little too high. >> a little bit. 1900 is what credit suisse is saying by end of next year, wow. tracy: you guys are awesome. russ koesterich, liz macdonald. we'll have to do it again. >> thank you. ashley: the week is finally here. the obama administration will release the numbers how many americans registered for health care through the obamacare exchanges. hmmm. rich edson live from washington, d.c. with more on the ongoing saga. rich. >> this is the week. we just don't know which day it is going to be. we've been asking for enrollment numbers. people in congress are asking for enrollment numbers. how many people successfully
2:08 pm
used healthcare.gov and through the entire process and got health insurance. those numbers are expected to be very low. outages this weekend. outages overnight so they could work on this the last status report from the administration as they're clearing problems off the list they find more problems. they say they will get this worked out for the vast majority of users by the end of this month. there are more congressional hearings on this, testimony coming on wednesday. the chairman of the house oversight and government reform committee, darrell issa he wants the chief technology officer for the administration to come testify, todd park. todd park says he is little too busy fixing the website. darrell issa is not happy about that, writes in response. they deserve your sworn testimony the american people before their elected representatives, what went wrong. simply media outlets that white house officials deemed an appropriate use of your time away from working on the website project. as we talk about and problems persist and people are having trouble signing on to the
2:09 pm
website, having trouble getting insurance, poll numbers continue to dip for the administration. president overall right now according to pew 41% approve the president's job performance. 53% disapprove. break that down to health care, 59% disapprove of the president's handling on health care issues. approve, only 37%. so certainly taking a hit in the polls from the problem that continue to playing healthcare.gov. sometime this week according to the administration we'll get those numbers. back to you. ashley: we shall see as they say, rich edson, thank you very much. >> thanks so much. >> goose prices below $3 in some parts of the country. -@i saw 3.303 by me in new jersy the other day. oh, yeah. sandra smith in the pits of cme. she will tell us whether iran is about to ruin the party. ashley: can amazon save the u.s. postal service? we'll tell you about a plan for sunday package delivery. tracy: orange juice prices are well, set to go higher.

ashley: oil prices on the rise as u.s.-led talks to curb iran's nuclear program have stalled. sandra smith with today's trade. does this mean the gas prices are about to go higher? >> definitely a possibility, considering how far gas prices have come down over the past weeks and months for that matter, but what happened over the weaken, really moving oil markets, both wti contract here for the united states, it is up about 16 cents in today's session. actually up 22 cents right now, nearing the $95 mark. european bren much mark, up more than a full percent. all of this as talks in geneva
